Twenty years ago, Disability Hate Crime was unheard of in Britain. Today, it is a significant criminal justice concern. This book asks and answers the questions as to how and why Disability Hate Crime developed as a criminal justice system policy concern. It analyses the development of Disability Hate Crime in the criminal justice system in England and Wales and provides the first comprehensive account of this issue’s development. This book analyses the contributions of activists, politicians, policymakers and CJS practitioners to this area of hate crime development. It uniquely analyses the challenges posed by the pervasive view of disability targeting in crime as vulnerability targeting. It points to practical ways through this challenge. It also addresses the under-recognition of disability prejudice–hostility and links this to the wider non-recognition of a fuelling ideology of ableism. While the book identifies Disability Hate Crime as an unsettled and unsettling agenda, it offers an optimistic view that a combination of legal policy change and a critically reflective approach on the part of policymakers and practitioners can lead to progress on Disability Hate Crime such that it becomes embedded as ‘business as usual’ rather than unusual business in the criminal justice system.
